Magnum Cum Laud..........$145

One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.

 Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story.  Read on in this series.....

 VERITAS

Although Harvard is not my Alma Mater, who is to resist the acquisition of Harvard “Veritas” links when you are in a Harvard merchandising store in of all places Japan.

The store has links, rings, pins, umbrellas, sweats and everything one could conceive with a Harvard crest and arms emblazoned on them. I found the store fascinating for the fact it either exists in Japan for graduates who get the urge or it is a cynical exercise in merchandise promotion along the lines of Manchester United’s franchise stores across Asia and the Middle East.

I bought these links in Japan with a pair of argyle socks in Harvard colours. A most tasteful combination when wanting an Ivy League demeanour.

Not wanting to be too much of a Harvard imposter, I have decided to wear the Harvard links with my own Alma Mater tie today, one of the few that is not silk in this scribes wardrobe!!

Worn today with Ermenegildo Zegna light blue cotton shirt.

For all those that have posted comments on this blog (please feel free to do so if you haven’t) I confer to you all a Magnum Cum Laud in the fine art of cuff link appreciation.

Till Later
